This is true, but omits the fact that several states have or are contemplating even more extreme measures - such as 6 weeks or earlier, or total bans.

- zaphar 4y agoIn a sense, the refusal of most of American media to even give airtime to the discussion of when a fetus should gain rights/protections is why such extreme measures are being on the table. They painted this as a binary issue with no nuance or even discussion as regards the status of an unborn fetus so the reaction has been similarly binary with total lack of nuance.
- forgingahead 4y agoThis is unfortunately every issue in American discourse now though - the media obfuscates and confuses, instead of illuminating and hopefully educating. The media is the biggest cause of conflict in the US system now, because it's just become hyper-partisans shouting at each other and otherizing the other 50%.
